Ciprofloxacin is not the first line drug for these infections
It is a 3rd generation cephalosporin and is used for other infections
For respiratory tract infection we use other antibiotics such as Amoxyclav 625,Azithromycin 500 etc
Next Steps
You can take Tab. Amoxyclav 625mg twice daily once in morning and once in night for 5 days
